This could be a sign of root rot, attracting insects to feed on the decaying roots. Therefore, root repair is needed. Suggestions:
- Use Mr Ganick Dr Neem to spray the areas with white worms.
- Simultaneously, trim off the blackened, rotten, or soft roots, then air-dry the wounds until they’re dry (approximately 1-2 weeks).
- Purchase rooting hormone powder online and apply it to the wounds and roots.
- Replace the soil with well-draining soil, such as Baba Super 10 Organic Potting Mix, to aid root growth and repair.
Once the tree recovers, spray Mr Ganick Organic Plant Acid regularly at the roots to prevent root diseases (once every 1-2 weeks).
If the plant is already planted in the ground, you can first spray or drench the soil with Mr Ganick Dr Neem to kill the rotting insects. Then spray Mr Ganick Organic Plant Acid to prevent root diseases.
